I've previously documented how evil, evil capitalists are doing such cruel things as providing free shoes and glasses to children in third world countries.
Pure evil, amirite?
Roberta X recently uncovered yet another of these evil corporations that have the nerve - the audacity! - to market an efficient $7 stove in Ghana:
You can read the article and find a lot of blather about carbon this and green that; all very nice, if you like that sort of thing, but for the Ghanan housewife (or, if I interpret the photo, fast-food vendor), it's about things more concrete and immediate: a better stove -- and more money to spend on something other than cooking fuel. It's a step up.
Not only are they doing so without the assistance of the benevolent hand of government (praised be its Policies!) - they're making a profit.
The horror.
